Campaigns from across the EU call for a referendum

The European Referendum Campaign (ERC) has compiled a list of all the campaigns from
different countries in the EU who are campaigning for a referendum on the EU Reform
Treaty: www.erc2.org/97.0.html

The ERC listed the campaigns to show that the call for referendums comes from across the
whole EU and not just from within certain countries.

Thomas Rupp Co-ordinator of the ERC said, “This list shows that those campaigning for a
referendum do not come from one specific political group, it also reflects the fact that 75% of
citizens want to have a say on this treaty.” He continues stating that:“If you are in favour of
democracy you should be in favour of a referendum, as you cannot build a democratic
EU without involving the people.”
